I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 27 - Sword Skills Soar


Qin Tian’s talent in blade techniques left Xiao Yunlong both frustrated and envious; he believed it wouldn’t be long before Qin Tian surpassed him.So, he decided to quickly beat him up a few times now, otherwise, he wouldn’t have the chance later.“Qin Tian, actual combat is the only standard for testing training.”Xiao Yunlong said seriously, “No matter how strong your training is, if it cannot be applied in actual combat, everything is futile.”“How about it, do you want to have a hearty actual combat duel? Don’t worry, I won’t use my Spiritual Energy User abilities; we’ll just spar normally with blade techniques.”Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao both saw through Xiao Yunlong’s little scheme and couldn’t help but find it amusing.“Alright.”Qin Tian nodded in agreement; what he lacked most right now was actual combat experience, and Xiao Yunlong’s suggestion was exactly what he needed.“Then let’s go.”Xiao Yunlong chuckled, opened a few meters of distance from Qin Tian, and gripped his battle blade tightly.“You go first!” Xiao Yunlong said.“Okay!”Qin Tian didn’t say another word, immediately pushed off the ground, and his battle blade whistled as it slashed towards Xiao Yunlong’s neck; although he only used fifty percent of his strength, the swift blade strike still startled Xiao Yunlong.Xiao Yunlong nimbly dodged to the side, flicked his wrist, and his battle blade, like a nimble snake, thrust towards Qin Tian’s abdomen.Before the blade reached him, Qin Tian subconsciously twisted his body, his movements looking awkward, but he still dodged Xiao Yunlong’s thrust.Xiao Yunlong changed his blade move again, a diagonal upward slash.Qin Tian raised his head, letting the blade skim past the tip of his nose.Swish ~ Swish ~ Swish ~Xiao Yunlong continuously changed his moves, his battle blade fast and fierce, yet Qin Tian, like a Spirit Cat, always managed to dodge Xiao Yunlong’s attacks with seemingly contorted and graceful, yet actually clever, movements.“Here it comes again.”Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao’s eyes widened; they were quite familiar with this scene, wasn’t it just a re-enactment of Qin Tian’s battle with the Second-Order Spirit Cat?Only the opponent had changed from a Spirit Cat to Xiao Yunlong.“Damn it, why do you keep dodging? You need to think about how to block and counterattack with your blade techniques.”Xiao Yunlong stopped, saying helplessly.Damn it, how is this kid slipperier than a fish? He can’t even be touched.“Okay.”Qin Tian also realized his problem; he had been relying entirely on instinctive reactions to dodge, neglecting the application of blade techniques.“I’ll go a little slower; you try to use those blade moves.”After Xiao Yunlong dropped that line, he charged forward again, sweeping his battle blade horizontally, but it was clearly not as fierce as before.Qin Tian didn’t give up his advantage of agile movement, lightly leaping backward to dodge the horizontal sweep of the battle blade; taking advantage of the blade’s momentum not yet receding, he immediately stepped forward with a slash, cutting towards Xiao Yunlong’s neck.Xiao Yunlong was no pushover; he smoothly ducked down, half-crouching and gripping his blade with both hands, cutting towards Qin Tian’s leg.Qin Tian quickly leaped up and chopped downwards with his blade.“Haha, not bad.”Xiao Yunlong laughed /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ loudly, raising his blade to block above his head.The two blades clashed, emitting a crisp ringing sound.“Qin Tian, I’m going to gradually increase the intensity now.”Seeing that Qin Tian was already getting into the rhythm, Xiao Yunlong struck while the iron was hot, gradually quickening his blade swings.Qin Tian countered move for move; at first, he was a bit unaccustomed, getting hit a few times by the unsharpened blade, but as his application of blade techniques became more proficient, he gradually felt a sense of ease.Clang, clang, clang ~ ~On the stage, the two went back and forth, blade light flickering, dazzling to the eye; every attack and defense was just right, as if choreographed beforehand.“Such terrifying comprehension.”Xiao Yunlong slashed his blade, his eyes filled with deep shock.Qin Tian’s progress was simply too fast; from the initial awkward stiffness to the current effortless flow, in just a few minutes, he had visibly transformed from a novice into a blade technique elite, mastering the basic blade moves.Such terrifying talent and comprehension were simply unbelievable.Beside them, Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao were also stunned by Qin Tian’s performance.“He’s truly a monster ~”Qin Dadi gave a wry smile; compared to Qin Tian, he felt as clumsy as a paramecium, not the same species.“Captain, I suddenly feel that Yunlong’s words are not without reason.”Liu Zhaozhao looked at the two figures fiercely battling on the stage and murmured, “Qin Tian might really be a Super Soldier.”His marksmanship was self-taught.His blade techniques were understood with a single point.And there was his movement technique, even more agile than a Spirit Cat’s.As well as his powerful physique, surpassing that of a Spiritual Energy User.Combining these clues, she increasingly felt that Qin Tian’s origin was by no means simple.“Perhaps.”Qin Dadi looked at the stage, a gentle warmth in his eyes: “Whether he’s an ordinary soldier or a Super Soldier, to us, Qin Tian is just our teammate.”“An excellent and very trustworthy teammate.”… …“Qin Tian, I’m going to use my Spiritual Energy User abilities!”As the battle continued, Xiao Yunlong found that he could no longer suppress Qin Tian with just blade techniques, and even gradually felt a sense of struggle.To maintain the dignity of a blade technique instructor, he decided to unleash his full power and face Qin Tian in his best state.He didn’t care what happened later, but at the very least, he couldn’t be defeated by his student on the first day of teaching.That would be too embarrassing.“Alright!”Qin Tian was also getting hyped up, his tone filled with an unprecedented exhilaration and fighting spirit.Feeling the change in Qin Tian’s emotions, Xiao Yunlong grinned, and a faint blue aura appeared on his blade.“Watch out!”With a flash of blue light beneath his feet, Xiao Yunlong lunged forward, his speed several times faster than before, his battle blade slashing diagonally downwards, quick as a gust of wind.Good, bring it on!Qin Tian’s eyes brightened, and he quickly raised his blade to block.Xiao Yunlong had held back his strength, and why wouldn’t he?In terms of physical fitness, with his Steel Bone and Shadow Muscle and Bones talents, he was leagues ahead of Xiao Yunlong.If he hadn’t also held back his strength just now, he could have made Xiao Yunlong kneel with two slashes.Clang ~ ~ ~The crisp metallic clang was particularly piercing.Xiao Yunlong recoiled two steps, his wrist trembling uncontrollably, his eyes filled with shock.Qin Tian’s strength…Xiao Yunlong only knew that Qin Tian was agile, but he hadn’t expected his strength to be so terrifying.“Continue!”Qin Tian became more and more excited as he fought, his battle blade emitting a clear, ringing hum.Clang, clang, clang ~ ~The two launched a furious exchange of blows, blade shadows overlapping, the surrounding air stirred by their movements.Under the enhancement of his Spiritual Energy User abilities, Xiao Yunlong’s blade strikes were like a storm, fierce and swift.Qin Tian currently had sparse Spiritual Energy User abilities and didn’t know how to mobilize them for actual combat.However, his formidable physical fitness compensated for the Spiritual Energy User ability gap between him and Xiao Yunlong, and in his control of basic blade techniques, he had already caught up to Xiao Yunlong, and was gradually showing signs of surpassing him.“Damn it, is this kid even human? Does he have orc genes or something?”Xiao Yunlong gritted his teeth, his arm feeling a faint numbness; he knew that unless he used a Spiritual Energy User martial skill, it would be very difficult for him to defeat Qin Tian now.But once a Spiritual Energy User martial skill was used, he couldn’t control the force well, and if he accidentally injured Qin Tian, it would be troublesome.That’s it then, no more fighting; anyway, I hit him a few times just now, so I win.Xiao Yunlong leaped high backward, retreating to Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao’s side, and waved his hand, saying:“Alright, that’s enough for today. If we keep fighting, I’m afraid your body won’t be able to handle it.”Qin Tian raised an eyebrow slightly:“I think I can still continue.”“Oh, you don’t understand. The first training shouldn’t be too much; it needs to be moderate, understand ‘moderate’ ~”Xiao Yunlong put the training blade back on the rack and turned to walk towards the dormitory.“Teacher Xiao has taught you this much today. You should properly summarize your mistakes from just now, and we can fight again tomorrow if you have time ~”Watching Xiao Yunlong’s slightly hurried steps, Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but laugh.A hint of a smile also flickered in Qin Tian’s eyes.
